OA, Maggie, Stuart and Tiffany were sitting at their desks trying to catch up on their paperwork but they were currently being distracted as they had begun chatting and telling stories about dates gone wrong. The four agents had turned around in their chairs so that they were facing each other, Stuart had just finished a story that had the other three laughing rather loudly unable to stop themselves. That was until Kristen came walking towards them and rather quickly, Maggie raised an eyebrow seeing Kristen.

"Hey Kris is everything okay?."

"Yes and no. You four might want to avoid the bullpen for a while."

"You care to share why?." OA asked as he leaned back in his chair looking at Kristen.

"If I tell you that your favourite agent happens to be in there right now." Kristen was looking at all four of them as she spoke.

Stuart sat up straighter hearing Kristen "Okay you will have to narrow it down just a little is it male or female."

"Female."

"Rina…." All four agents spoke at the same time. They had really grown to dislike her on their last case together, the way that she had spoken to OA, hearing her name brought up painful memories for OA as that was the case that Mona broke up with him. The other's had hated the way that she had treated and spoke to OA but they also hated the way that she kept flirting with Jubal even though he told her that he was in a serious relationship with someone.

"What the hell is she doing here?." OA almost spat out the words in anger.

"I have no idea, she walked straight into Isobel's office, Jubal did not look happy to see her." Kristen looked at OA as she answered him.

"Can you blame him? I think we all vividly remember how she is around him." Tiffany was speaking for them all saying that. None of them had any idea that Maggie was struggling with this more than the rest of them, even OA. She hated having to stand back the last time and watch Rina flirt with Jubal and not being able to do anything about it since they hadn't told the team about their relationship, which was still a secret from the team.

"You think that maybe we should go in there and give Jubal some back up so that he at least doesn't have to face her alone?." Stuart looked at the other's as he spoke, they knew that Jubal wanted nothing to do with Rina but she didn't take no for an answer not when it came to him. But honestly Maggie couldn't think of anything worse than having to go into the bullpen and watch Rina flirt with her boyfriend again. However, she knew that if the team all agreed to go backup Jubal that she would have to go too.

"I really would rather never having to see her again, but I think the least we can do is offer Jubal some backup. You know remind him that we will happily shot him if he even thinks about going anywhere near her." OA was standing up as he was speaking.

The others stood up and walked into the bullpen behind OA and Kristen, Maggie was hanging back, walking as slow as possible as she really did not want to have to go and watch this all over again. Rina had been brought in on two cases since her and Jubal had started dating and watching Rina all over him on those cases was more than enough for her.

Jubal raised an eyebrow when he saw the team coming walking towards him and they all sat down at the front desk, moving their chairs closer together. OA leaned back in his chair looking at Jubal.

"A little bird told us that Rina was on this floor so we thought we could come give you backup, you know in case you needed it or in case you needed reminding that you do NOT want to be anywhere near her."

"That little bird happen to be call Kris?." Jubal raised an eyebrow looking at Kristen, he had glanced at Maggie to try and see how she was doing but he didn't want to stare at her or the others would notice.

"In my defence I went to their desks to tell them to avoid the bullpen, it was Stuart's idea for us to come join you." Kristen chuckled softly when Stuart said 'Hey'.

"We were having a good laugh until we found out who was here. I just thought it was better that Jubal have us with him rather being on his own." Stuart shrugged chuckling softly.

"So you all agreed to come join me in the JOC?." Jubal was looking at the team, but he was interested in Maggie's response as he had a feeling she wanted to be anywhere but sitting in front of him.

"Maggie didn't seem too keen on joining us, think she still wants to slap Rina for the way that she spoke to me. You know partners looking out for each other." OA smiled looking at Maggie, unaware that was only part of the reason that she didn't want to be there.

"I'm sure that all five of you could manage this just fine without me being here." Maggie looked at Jubal briefly before OA, she knew that Jubal could tell that she didn't want to be sitting there.

"Maybe she will just leave without speaking to me with you all sitting there listening and watching." Jubal looked at the team as he spoke to them, every part of him just wanted to take Maggie and leave the JOC without having to deal with Rina at all.

"Well we are about to find out." Tiffany looked over Jubal's shoulder as she spoke, seeing Rina coming walking towards them.

"Her smirk just makes me want to slap her."

The team all raised an eyebrow hearing Kristen, as they were surprised to hear her saying that, Maggie was trying hard to hide the smile when she heard Kristen. She was also trying to take slow deep breaths without anyone noticing so that she could try to keep herself calm.

Rina walked straight to Jubal when she left Isobel's office, her smile growing as she focused completely on Jubal, she stood way too close to him, closer than was really appropriate for two people who weren't dating as she smiled so sweetly at him.

"I'm glad that you are still here, I was hoping that I would get to talk to you before leaving."

Jubal stepped back from Rina when she stepped way into his personal space "I couldn't leave the JOC when Isobel is in a meeting, so I had to stay here."

"You sure that you didn't want to stay here just so that you could talk to me?." Rina ran her hand along Jubal's arm slowly as he tried his best to pull his arm away.

OA snorted laughing "I think Jubal would rather jump out that window, 12 floors up, than talk to you."

Maggie had clenched her jaw as she watched Rina run her hand along Jubal's arm, yes she noticed that Jubal pulled away straight away but it wasn't like Rina was giving up. However, hearing OA did have her relaxing a little bit, even if she knew that wasn't going to last long.

"I see you are still bitter from our last case together Zidan." Rina looked at OA briefly before focusing back on Jubal, stepping back into his personal space once again ignoring him trying to step back again. "You want to get out of here and have lunch together?."

"No, Rina I'm still in a serious relationship that I am extremely happy in and I'd rather your actions didn't screw that up for me." Jubal was really getting frustrated with the way that Rina kept stepping closer to him, he knew the desk was going to stop him from being able to move back any further.

"So you are still trying to use that as an excuse? You know if you are so happy in this relationship then why are you hiding her? Unless your team know about her since the last time I was here.?" Rina raised an eyebrow smirking, confident that Jubal still hadn't told the team who he was dating.

"Just because Jubal hasn't introduced us to his girlfriend doesn't mean that he's lying. Not that we could blame him if he was lying." OA shook his head, Rina did really bring out the anger in him.

"They must be dating what seven, eight months now according to Jubal and yet none of you have met her or even know her name. So either you are lying to me or you are for some reason ashamed of your girlfriend, and if it's the second one then you really shouldn't be with her."

Hearing her say about being ashamed of his girlfriend really brought up the anger up in Jubal, holding himself a little tense as he looked at Rina "I am not ashamed of my girlfriend, I just like to keep my private life private as does she, and I really don't care if you don't believe me Rina, but don't disrespect her."

"That your way of saying that your girlfriend is the one that doesn't want people to know you two are dating? You sure that you really want to be with someone who wants to hide your relationship. I mean if she really loved you Jubal she would be shouting it from the roof top." Rina smirked looking at Jubal trying to step closer to him.

Jubal backed off Rina once more, bumping into the desk so he sat down on the edge of it which had him right beside Maggie now. Jubal gripped the edge of the desk tight as he looked at Rina, trying so hard not to look at Maggie which was really difficult right now "I've met her family and she has met my kids so no Rina she is not hiding our relationship, I'm just not ready to share the details of my personal life with the team which they have respected, unlike you." Jubal almost slipped saying he hadn't told the team as his girlfriend worked with them.

"You are expecting me to take your word for all of that though, I mean no one has seen any evidence that you met her family or that she has met your kids. All that we have to go on is what you say, you know that you don't have to lie to me, it's not like we can't date, we don't actually work together. So there is nothing standing in our way and if you and I were to date I wouldn't be hiding you from anyone especially not those that I have worked with for years."

Maggie could see Jubal gripping the edge of the desk tight, so tight that it had to be hurting his hands. She had been listening to Rina and the more she talked the angrier that Maggie got, she watched as Rina lifted her hand out about to lay it on Jubal's chest. Maggie stood up and reached out grabbing Rina's wrist stopping her from touching Jubal again.

"You really need to stop touching Jubal."

Jubal and the team were really surprised when they saw Maggie standing up and grabbing Rina's arm, Jubal had no idea how Maggie was going to explain this to everyone. None of them were as surprised as Rina as she raised an eyebrow pulling her hand away from Maggie.

"What is it to you Agent Bell if I touch Jubal? It's really none of your business what he and I do." Rina had that smirk on her face as she looked at Maggie.

Maggie took a deep breath as she lay her hand on Jubal's shoulder closet to her, she was standing behind him at the desk as she looked at Rina. "That's where you are wrong, it is my business when I'm the girlfriend that he has been hiding."

The team were watching closely, they weren't sure if Maggie was being serious right now or if she was pretending to be Jubal's girlfriend just to get Rina to back off him. Apparently Rina was thinking the same thing as she chuckled softly looking at Maggie and Jubal. "That's kinda sweet that you want to try and help your boss out by pretending to be his girlfriend, but this is the man that swore he would never date anyone he worked with. So nice try Agent Bell but I know you aren't his girlfriend."

Jubal lifted his hand taking Maggie's free hand in his as he smiled softly looking at Maggie before back at Rina. "Mags isn't lying." Jubal had to try really hard to ignore the gasp he could hear from the team at him calling her Mags. "I did always say that I would never date anyone at work but that all changed eight months ago, actually it changed months before that, Mags just gave me a chance that I wasn't screwing up eight months ago."

The team were shocked when they heard Jubal calling Maggie 'Mags' as they knew she hated being called that unless it was her parents or siblings. However, they weren't sure if Maggie was pretending to be okay with it to help Jubal out right now, because to be honest they could understand if she was lying to help him.

Rina was still refusing to believe it, there was no way in her mind that Jubal was actually dating someone that he worked with. It was one of the things that most people knew about him, that he didn't mix his personal life with his work life. So as far as she was concerned right now they were just lying to her.

"Prove that you two are in a relationship." She smirked once again looking at them.

"Rina I am not about to make out with my girlfriend just because you don't believe us because to be honest I really don't care if you believe us or not." Jubal shook his head looking at Rina as he squeezed Maggie's hand gently which was noticed by OA, who was starting to believe that Maggie and Jubal were actually dating.

Rina laughed hearing Jubal "See? I knew it! You two are just lying, she's not your girlfriend, if she was you wouldn't care about kissing her in front of people."

Maggie kept her hand on Jubal's shoulder, her other hand still in his as she walked around the desk and sat down on the desk beside him, laying her shoulder gently against his as she smiled looking at Jubal. "Why don't you just show one of the many photos I know you have of us on your phone." She smirked playfully looking at Jubal "I think the team might need to see photo evidence to actually believe that we aren't playing a trick on them."

Jubal was surprised but more than happy when Maggie walked around the desk to sit beside him, but he did feel much better having her right beside him. He let go of her hand so that he could wrap his arm around her as he chuckled softly hearing her "Hey! It's not like you didn't know the photos were being taken." He laughed when Maggie raised an eyebrow "Okay so a few you didn't know about with the kids." He took his phone off the holder and looked at the team. "Is Mags right? Do you guys want or need to see a photo to know that we aren't just saying this to get Rina off my back?."

OA nodded "Yeah I think we all need to see something to know that you two aren't just saying this to get Rina to disappear because I mean we could all totally understand if Maggie was helping you out right now. And as much as I love my partner I would rather you two not try to prove it by kissing in front of us." OA laughed as he looked at Jubal and Maggie.

"Yeah that would be like watching our parents making out." Kristen smirked laughing.

Jubal shook his head laughing "In our defence this was not how we planned on you all finding out, and in my defence I had no idea Mags was going to just blurt it all out because she couldn't keep her hands off me." He smirked playfully looking at Maggie.

"If other women could keep their hands off my boyfriend then I wouldn't have had to blurt it out." Maggie shook her head smiling, she could feel that Jubal had completely relaxed now which was making her relax more.

"You two trying to delay and distract because there are no photos on that phone to back up this lie you two have started?." Rina was still smirking as she really was convinced that they were ling to her.

Jubal looked at Maggie to check she was really okay with him showing a picture of them, she nodded smiling at him. He unlocked his phone and pulled up a picture of them lying on the couch at home, Maggie was lying in Jubal's hoodie and he had both his arms wrapped tight around her as she was snuggled in so tight to him, he had his lips pressed against Maggie's forehead who had her eyes closed smiling at his kiss. There was no denying from the picture that they were a couple very happy and very much in love. He smiled looking at the photo running his thumb over it before holding his phone up to show Rina.

"The kids took this picture of us at the weekend at home."

Rina stood in shock looking at the picture, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, he really was dating Maggie. Jubal couldn't help the smirk that appeared when he saw how shocked Rina was looking at the picture.

"Hey boss come on we need to see the picture." OA joked playfully as Jubal turned the phone around showing them the picture and Kristen covered her heart with her hands.

"OMG look how adorable you two look. Maggie really is who you have been hiding from us?."

"Technically I haven't been hiding her, she's been right in front of you the whole time." Jubal smiled before turning to look at Maggie and he couldn't resist as he leaned in stealing a quick soft kiss from her. Maggie smiled in to the kiss and lay her chin on his shoulder when they pulled apart.

"It's a pity it will all come to an end when you have to tell Isobel about your relationship, you are technically Maggie's boss." Rina smirked, she wasn't ready to completely give up.

Jubal was about to reply when Isobel beat him to it as she appeared beside them "They already disclosed to me four months ago, there are no rules against them dating as they both signed the disclosure forms and I think it's time I walk you out Agent Trenholm, especially before the team want to discuss that it was Maggie you were disrespecting while flirting with Jubal on the cases you worked with us."

That caught OA's attention as he took his eyes off Jubal's phone that Kristen was now holding as he looked at Rina. "Now that I know that was my partner and one of my best friends that you were disrespecting I will definitely remind Jubal that I will happily shot him if he goes anywhere near you. I would take up Isobel's offer to leave with her now."

Before Rina could answer them Isobel was leading her towards the elevator, OA looked at Jubal "I meant what I said, you may be our boss, but that is one of my best friends so you hurt her and you have to deal with me."

Maggie laughed shaking her head "Don't worry OA, I told Jubal months ago that he would have to deal with you if he hurt me."

Jubal ran his thumb along Maggie's hand gently as he looked at OA "And for what's it worth OA, if I ever do hurt Mags you have my permission to shoot me."

"That kinda takes the fun out of it for me." OA laughed but he knew that Jubal was actually serious, so he knew that Jubal would never do anything intentionally to hurt Maggie.

"So you two really have been dating for eight months?." Kristen asked as she handed Jubal back his phone.

Maggie smiled as she ran her free hand along Jubal's arm slowly, now that the team knew she didn't see any reason to hold back. "We really have been dating, we were honestly planning on telling you guys. Jubal being flirted with again was not how we expected to be telling you all." She chuckled softly.

"I have a new level of respect for you Maggie, how you didn't slap her on that first case knowing that was your man she was flirting with. You showed more restraint that I would have." Tiffany chuckled softly as she spoke looking at Maggie.

"Oh please don't call him that, it will go to his head." Maggie smirked joking playfully, laughing when Jubal pulled a funny face at her.

"Too late baby, it already has." He smirked leaning in stealing another kiss from Maggie's lips, keeping it soft but sweet.

Kristen let out a small squeal making them all jump a little and look at her with raised eyebrows, she looked at them all "I'm not going to apologise, I can't be the only one that just heard Jubal call Maggie 'baby'."

"Did I?." Jubal raised an eyebrow looking at Maggie who was chuckling softly which gave him his answer, making him shake his head laughing as he looked at Kristen and the others "Not sure how I managed to let that slip out at work, blame it on her kisses distracting me."

Maggie slapped his arm lightly laughing "Hey mister, you are the one that kissed me so you can't blame me for distracting you."

"But you know that kissing you always distracts me from everything, so it kinda is your fault baby." Jubal smirked playfully as he pulled Maggie closer to him.

"Always so smooth with the words Valentine." Maggie couldn't help the large smile that was on her face as she looked at Jubal.

The team couldn't take their eyes off them, they had never seen them like this with anyone. They were shocked at the news but now that they were able to watch Jubal and Maggie together without a guard up they could see how happy they made each other and how much they loved each other.

Stuart stood up "Okay this calls for drinks tonight and first round is on me as we have so many questions for you both, and trust me it will be better to get them over with in one night or Kristen and OA will be asking them for the next week."

"Yeah I can admit he's right." OA laughed.

"You two good to join us tonight?." Kristen asked Maggie and Jubal as she stood up to join the others.

"We don't have the kids until tomorrow, and I'm not going through these questions on my own so you are totally joining me." Maggie laughed softly as she looked at Jubal "But I won't be drinking." She looked at the others as she said about not drinking.

"You aren't going to surprise us by telling us that you are pregnant?." OA laughed as he joked raising an eyebrow looking at Maggie and Jubal.

Kristen slapped his arm "No, think about it, if Maggie drinks it means that she can't kiss Jubal again until tomorrow so that's why she's not drinking."

"Is Kris right?." Stuart asked as he looked at Maggie.

Maggie smiled softly as she ran her thumb along Jubal's hand slowly when she felt him squeeze her hand. "She is, it's been a long week at work with our last case so I want to enjoy my weekend with Jubal and the kids."

The minute that Maggie stopped talking Kristen was letting out another squeal, holding her hands up "Sorry, but come on guys that is seriously so dam cute.. You don't want to drink just so that you can continue to kiss your boyfriend, I mean that's love right there."

Jubal shook his head laughing, but truth was he was a little emotional as when Maggie did small things like this it still caught him a little off guard and reminded him just how much she loved him. "Kris you are going to have no voice left and you will burst all our ear drums if you keep squealing when we give you information about our relationship. Especially when you find out that we have been living together for a while."

"BOSS…." OA, Stuart and Tiffany all shouted at the same time as they tried to cover their ears from the loudest squeal from Kristen which just had Maggie and Jubal both laughing hard.
